If true it bodes interestingly for Marvel’s Phase 3 agenda too, as in the comics, Thanos, upon his return and with near-omnipotent Infinity Gauntlet, dismisses her claim to be family, and transforms her agonisingly into a “living sculpture of pain and death”. Not out for the count, she then makes off with the Infinity Gauntlet herself.

It’s easy to imagine her a major player in Guardians Of The Galaxy and then perhaps a factor in Avengers 2, but boom, in a closing credit sequence she pays failty to Thanos and he simply smiles at the camera, fade to black, and screaming.
